abstract = {Fuel cell electric vehicles promise to be a viable
technical option for using surplus energy produced
byrenewables, and in turn, help the transport sector to
reduce environmental impacts. However, thetechnology is
still under development and, for some components, the
environmental performance isuncertain, e.g. the hydrogen
storage tank. Manufacturers produce hydrogen tanks
consisting of carboncomposite materials because of their
mechanical properties. Yet, the production of carbon fibers
involvescomplex and energy-intensive processes. Therefore,
this study addresses a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) ofa fuel
cell electric vehicle (FCEV) and focuses on the
manufacturing process of the hydrogen storage tankand carbon
fibers needed for its production. This study suggests that
the tank is important for climatechange, ionizing radiation
and fossil depletion, but less relevant for toxic-related
environmental indicators.The evaluation of the future
scenario suggested an improvement in the environmental
performanceof the tank, especially regarding climate change
by $46\%,$ namely 5.6 t CO2-Eq versus 3.0 t CO2-Eq, and
human toxicity by $75\%,$ namely 2.7 t 1, 4-DCB-Eq versus
0.7 t 1, 4-DCB-Eq per tank for current andfuture conditions,
respectively. Finally, for a lifetime mileage of 150,000 km,
the fuel cell electric vehicleis responsible for 15 kg
CO2-Eq/100 km in the current scenario and 9 kg CO2-Eq/100 km
in the futurescenario, respectively.},
